Dear Tango friends,
we - Melina Sedó & Detlef Engel - are going to visit Pittsburg,
Philadelphia and New York in a few days and would like to introduce
ourselves to those who don't know us yet. We'll be looking forward to
meeting you at the Milongas or at our classes.
Our philosophy: Tango is walking in an embrace.
We dance close-embrace Tango with a very personal touch. Our dance may
be described as elegant and puristic and while imbedding modern
techniques and elements into the Tango, it stays close to the roots of
the traditional Tango de Salón.
At the core of our lessons, which are always geared towards
improvisational capability, are intensive body work and analysis of
tango´s structures. But „technical“ understanding is just a means to
concentrate better on the essential: developing one´s own style and
relishing the embrace in unison with the music.
Our bio:
We discovered Tango in the mid 90s and started travelling all over
Europe and to Buenos Aires to take classes with the best teachers: El
Indio, Mariana Dragone & Hernán Obispo, Mariana Flores & Eduardo
Capussi, Gustavo Naveira & Giselle Anne, Julio Balmaceda & Corina de la
Rosa, Juan Bruno, Chicho Frumboli, Andrea Rejero & Sebastian Misse,
Osvaldo Zotto & Lorena Hermocida, Omar Vega, Fernando Galera & Vilma
Vega ...
We started teaching in 2001 after having worked out a special teaching
concept which bases on Tango as a language with words, a grammar and
the possibility to compose poetry. Of course, this is a "work in
progress", as we constantly develop our methods and understanding of
this complex dance.
We mainly work in Germany, in France and the neighbouring countries of
Europe and are traveling and giving workshops wherever people want to
tango with sense and sensitivity. Last year we visited the tangueros in
New York City and Washington and performed at Dance Manhattan, La Boca
and Dancestudio 101.This year we'll be performing at La Nacional (NYC)
and later in april at some of the most distinguished Milongas in Buenos
Aires: Porteno y Bailarin, Salon Canning, Tanguedia, Bien Pulenta....
